I'm trying to catch up with the thread but I wanna talk about something regarding Cure Dragon, since he's a friend of mine. Cure Dragon, like me, is exceptionally socially awkward and has a hard time expressing and explaining himself in the threads well enough. This is something I struggle about and...

There definitely has been a problem in modern media of overcorrecting the portayal of men and writing them as incompetent manbabies who need a woman's guidance just to function properly...I've even noticed my own writing slipping into that and have had to revise it. It's jarring because most of the...

One teacher in university even mentioned, that in grade school pics grandma is showed in pics as granny glued to her chair, while next pic showed badass and proud looking grandpa in military uniform... With second part, i politely disagree, seeing how many people dislike Abby or Aloy in new Horizon...

Talking just enough to get away is a defense mechanism sure but that doesn't mean you cant or shouldn't approach people in public, I've gotten phone numbers from pharmacy techs, uber drivers, uber passengers, women I've met at the airport, in super markets, in the laundromat and a multitude of othe...

i wasn't and even if I did it wouldn't manner First off, even if it was by accident, the individual does not feel comfortable you using dude here and you should respect their wishes here. Second, it absolutely does matter. Julie is a Trans Woman and it's extremely transphobic to not respect ones ge...

I think not just Dragon Ball, but general media really should have more positive portrayals of multi-partner relationships, simply because media as a whole, still has this very dated idea that monogamy is the default. Trust me when I say this, growing up, we were shown to laugh or be disgusted by po...

You live perpetually online. How about we not dive into ableism? Because using that as an insult is incredibly ablest. Yes, I am almost exclusively online and have been since my teenager years. I'm a disabled adult. And I hardly see what this has anything to do with what I said. I will repeat it on...

You cannot easily say that not criticizing media for normalizing this stuff doesn't enable this stuff, because it absolutely does. Not what I said. You can have an awareness of your preferred piece of media's shortcomings and problematic aspects without centering your whole discourse on the series ...

It is incredible that people who disagree that politics shouldn't be an inherent component of every discussion are labelled as "privileged cis straight people" without a first, let alone a second, thought and regardless of whether or not that is accurate. As if minorities are some kind of...

I'm going to be blunt and I know a lot of users aren't going to be happy with what I'm about to say: The fact that there is so many people in here, possibly largely Cis Straight people, handwaving complaints of minorities how they take issues with the problematic content found in the franchise for D...

I have a simpler solution: how about we keep identity politics out of some dumb kung-Fu cartoon? This is not an appropriate response. It's an appropriate response, you just disagree with it. An inappropriate response would be along the lines of "keep ideologies that promote mental illness out ...

Rockman.EXE, for example, for the re-airings on Kids Station, carry these warnings, due to imagery and certain terminology being considered racist and problematic. And this is a show that aired back in around 2002 or so, for the record. Now you've got me curious about this. Basically, one character...

So, I wanna talk a little bit about this, since I'm aware how Japan has been handling this stuff for re-airings, and really, it's fairly a simple thing. Essentially the basic gist of the situation is this: Japan does not edit or censor any legacy material that is simply a "re-airing". This...

Honestly, the problem with this whole situation is it often comes up a lot in media in which characters are turned back into a child, either through a wish, a drug (in Detective Conan's case), or they're sent back in time. Most of the time, the writers aren't thinking about the issue regarding the m...

I mean... 1. The animation was due to the pre-production phase being unexpected and hellish, which resulted in the animation experiencing a complete meltdown a lot sooner than most projects normally would. It'd take awhile before scheduling and stuff would kinda normalize for the series. The greenli...

This isn't entirely 100% true. Sexual Identity, while it's strongly tied to sexual attraction, there's also more the emotional side of things. Kids, around 8, may start questioning this sort of thing, especially if they have emotional attachments towards their male friends that goes a bit further t...

That's something people are missing here. Representation can be great for educating children and helping children with feeling okay with themselves. You make an excellent point about people with the best intentions, but something people with the best intentions do have to keep in mind is if one of ...

Gay man here, thought I'd chime in on this discussion. While I don't have any particular issue with Blue, I do however have issue with what Toei Animation did to his character later on (the gay = pedophile stereotype is NOT something I want to see, given it gives children the wrong idea what a gay m...
